Episode 10-Fighting for Fairness: The Truth About Clean Energy and Subsidies

In this episode of The Clean Energy Edge, Russ and Brian break down one of the most persistent lies in energy: that clean energy only survives because of government subsidies. With fossil fuels receiving over hundreds of billions of dollars a year in hidden and direct subsidies, the playing field is anything but level. They dive into why fossil fuels are still propped up by the government, how political efforts to gut the Inflation Reduction Act are threatening clean energy progress, and why renewables already win on cost, reliability, and deployment speed. It’s a candid, fact-based look at what’s really holding clean energy back — and why the truth matters more than ever.
